Description
Photograph of the TWA terminal at the Los Angeles International Airport, ca.1974. A few cars pull up in front of the terminal, which is a large light-colored structure baring the name "Trans[?] Airlines". A bus at right pulls up next to a sign bearing the initials "TWA", situated next to a glass door and series of windows behind which several people can be seen. A few people walk on the concrete walkway outside the glass window, and across from them runs a striped path marked for pedestrians through the main street. A strip divides the road in two and is decorated with a line of palm trees. Both roads appear to be one-way, with traffic facing the left on both sides. In the foreground to the left is a small sign bearing the words "Parking for American Bonanza TWA". In the background, part of an airplane with the TWA marking on its tail can be seen, while the distance is composed of several buildings.
